Master in Global Environmental Change


Global environmental change is charac¬terized by complex interactions between processes with different impacts between geographical areas. This complexity calls for professionals with a broad outlook and strong analytical skills, trained to translate data into understanding, and communicate with decision makers.

The Master in Global Environmental Change provides solid skills building based on our unique, case-based methodology. One of the strengths of the program is its intensive training in decision analysis and geographical information systems (GIS) applied to global environmental change. Using these tools, students will discover the reality of global environmental change from the raw data and analyze future scenarios. Another strength of the program lies in its emphasis on communication skills, training students and stimulating their creativity to translate scientific evidence into understandable information for diverse audiences and to support environmental decision-making.

By the end of the programs, students may pursue roles as a policy adviser, risk analyst, or researcher, be it in government, international organizations, NGO, research organization or consulting company, or continue to pursue a PHD.
